Most people think it is Mayweather. But I like Gennady Golovkin. He's the middleweight champ. The guy is awesome.

Golovkin is half Korean. He's knocked out his last 14 opponents. Perhaps Koreans have a natural talent for the sport.

He's also half Russian. Russians are generally good scrappers. Plus...
Quote:
Golovkin had been throwing big punches all his life. Growing up, Sergey and Vadim would walk the streets with Golovkin and pick men out of a crowd. Are you afraid of him, they would ask Gennady. When he said no, they told him to go get into a fight. Sometimes they wrestled, sometimes they boxed, sometimes they just threw punches.
"My brothers, they were doing that from when I was in kindergarten," Golovkin said. "Every day, different guys."

An upbringing like that would certainly help a boxer, of any ethnicity.

Floyd Money Mayweather

Unless we aren't talking pound for pound, in which case it's obviously Wladimir Klitschko
